Side track a bit, sorry, anyone know where can a box leather strap for a Kelly be made, apart from at hermes?
It makes life a lot easier with a strap to Kelly bags...
Thanks

I don't know whether you still want to buy this Kelly or not but I know my friend bought a strap off eBay for £15 or something and I couldn't tell the difference from an arm's length.

i was in paris fsh aug 2012 and was trying a canvas red strap with my orange kelly! i was told all the straps are for sale..no restrictions..why would they be any? all the straps were made for customers who didn't pick them up i was told.

As I said, you never know with H. The canvas straps they will always sell, but with leather at least at Madison they categorically refused to sell me one as I did not have the Kelly with me. And otherwise they were super accommodating, showed me a ton of stuff from the back...anyway, again, no rules really apply when it comes to H stores
You can get something like this, at least temporarily, so you can use your Kelly as a shoulder bag. I bought something similar (but from a different seller, I don't remember who) for my olive canvas Kelly.

I'm not affiliated with the seller nor do I benefit in any way from mentioning them.
I have a shoulder strap custom made with a specific color leather and thread at www.mautto.com
Also chose my own hardware and length. They're quite reasonable as well and a good option if you have hard to match colors/thread/hardware.
You can also buy replacement shoulder straps from the Louis Vuitton site. The quality is very good and since you'll never get a perfect match with any of them, this is a good alternative. They work very well with box leather bags.

I've bought one for my box Kelly, only costed $160 or so on eBay.
Hi, is ur strap a box leather ? Thx
no I don't thing LV is made of real leather but sure looks like box, smooth and with a bit of shine. they come in different color and hardware too
Actually I think the LV ones are made of real leather.
I have a Kelly 32 from Panama Straw bought in 1987 in Brussels ( Belgium) and I did not come with a shoulder strap .Sorry not the most exciting thread but I am on my phone on holiday and can't find the answer.
When did Kellys start to come with a shoulder strap? And once they were introduced did all Kelly's have them? I am looking at a 1993 Kelly 28 which I feel should have a strap but the owner is 99% sure it didn't come with one.
Any help would be appreciated.
